OnePlus has officially unveiled the OnePlus Pad during the launch event for the Ace 5 series in China. This latest addition to the OnePlus ecosystem starts at an introductory price of 1,999 yuan (approximately $274) and promises a blend of premium features and affordability. In a notable move, early buyers will receive a complimentary stylus, enhancing the tablet’s value proposition.

Unlike last year’s global version powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset, the new model introduces a refreshed configuration aimed at optimizing performance and efficiency. Here’s an in-depth look at what the OnePlus Pad brings to the table.

Immersive Display and Modern Design

The 11.6-inch LCD display is one of the standout features of the OnePlus Pad. With a 144Hz high refresh rate, 2800×2000 resolution, and a 7:5 aspect ratio, it delivers sharp, vibrant visuals ideal for gaming, streaming, and productivity tasks. The screen supports a peak brightness of 700 nits, ensuring usability even in bright environments.

Measuring a sleek 6.29mm in thickness and weighing only 533g, the OnePlus Pad is designed for portability. It is available in two elegant color options: Tundra Green and Deep Space Grey, offering a stylish yet minimalistic look.

Powerful Performance with Dimensity 8350

At its core, the OnePlus Pad is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset, built on a 4nm process. This processor combines Cortex-A715 and Cortex-A510 cores for a balance of performance and energy efficiency. Paired with the Mali-G615 MC6 GPU, it ensures smooth graphics performance, catering to gamers and multitaskers.

To maintain optimal performance during extended usage, the device incorporates a 34,615mm² graphene cooling system, keeping temperatures under control. This ensures sustained performance during intensive tasks like gaming and video editing.
